Chapter 16: Going outside the city to kill someone to appreciate the snow, and going to Wudang Jiang Ni to deliver books
What is the most important thing in the world to care about love, loyalty, filial piety, fart about books.
Xu Fengnian really picked up the most despicable martial arts in the past, but he learned to learn swords before learning swords. Of course I learned from the white-haired Lao Kui. Lao Kui was going to leave the royal mansion to explore the world, but he had already been yelling. He wanted to meet the top ten masters who were squatting in the pit but not stooling very much. After the next nine of them were beaten, he would fight with the old monster Wang. Lao Kui doesn’t like this old man the most. He is the best in the world. Why pretend to be second? What kind of pretentiousness is like! hateful! Lao Kui, who was gnawing on the legs of lamb, heard that Xu Fengnian was going to learn swords from him, and laughed wildly and sprayed mutton minced meat all over the floor. Seeing that the prince who was carrying the good knife was not joking, Lao Kui threw away the legs of lamb, and his big hand covered with oil stains touched the scarlet giant knife that asked the master to hook into the pipa bone when he was young and middle-aged. He asked a question: “Why should my grandfather teach you?”
Xu Fengnian replied: “I asked Xu Xiao to invite Wei Beishan, who used the saber to kill the horse, to fight with you. One every year from now on, until I learned to become a knife.” Lao Kui praised a lot of work, looked up at Xu Fengnian, and asked with a strange expression: “Boy, tell grandpa why he wanted to learn swords. The 300,000 cavalry in Beiliang is not enough for you, a kid, to show off your power.”
Xu Fengnian pulled out Xiu Dong, flicked his fingers, and grinned, “The swords and guns of those people are still from others, and I have to find someone to do it.”
Lao Kui curled his lips and ignored it, but asked Xu Fengnian to lift Xiu Dong with one arm and stand for half an hour first. The blade should not be slanted. Otherwise, even if the old monster Wang was invited, the cheap apprentice would not accept it. As a result, Xu Fengnian fainted on the spot after persisting for an hour, and the embroidered winter knife never tilted. To be precise, he didn’t even tremble. Lao Kui stared blankly at His Royal Highness who was lying on the ground, walked over and pinched the boy’s stiff right arm, and said that he had picked up the treasure.
Next, Lao Kui did not teach Xu Fengnian how profound and mysterious moves, but just asked him to repeat four boring movements, straight stab, tilt, vertical chop, and back sweep. Thorn three thousand, flirt three thousand, chop four thousand, and grab four thousand. Lao Kui thought that this young master who was used to eating Zhong Mingding would at least ask a few reasons, but Xu Fengnian did not. He just went to the secluded courtyard to practice knife every day at dawn, and staggered away late at night every day, Xiu Dong never left for a moment. This made Lao Kui very depressed, and at the same time he became curious. Xu Fengnian showed not only his will, but also his solid skills in holding swords. Could it be that His Royal Highness, the prince had been carefully trained by military generals in the army and learned the military swords to defend themselves during this period. He deliberately made things difficult for Xu Fengnian to practice boring swords. Half of it was to let this kid retreat. There was no shortcut for Zhongnan in the world. The other half was sincere. He was the first to hold the knife, and he couldn’t even hold the knife. Then it was not to use the knife, but to be dragged by the knife. Even if he got a pile of peerless sword scores, he was just playing some seemingly squad moves. Once he faced the enemy, there was only a dead end.
The first day of practicing knife happens to be the Great Heat. After the Great Heat, it’s time to standAutumn.
Xu Fengnian always practices swords with bare shirt and her smooth skin that she finally nourished with fine clothes and food has become bronze, making her more and more intense. If she adds some scars, she will be no different from the strong soldiers in the army. But the knife skills are far from reaching the flow.
White dew, autumnal equinox and cold dew are followed by frost. The plunder of four thousand turned into plunder of six thousand.
Xu Fengnian finally asked the first question, “The sword is the courage of a hundred soldiers. It is a big deal. It emphasizes that even though thousands of troops are going, this time I am plundering is the method of collecting swords, so why do you have to practice more?”
Lao Kui smiled and said, “There are too many swordsmen in the world who are not afraid of death, but the swordsmen who are not afraid of death are the easiest to die. The most powerful swordsman in the world can’t escape the word “pull”. No one can get away with the word “pull”. No one can get the swordsman’s life. Grandpa’s great principles are all thought of on the way back after wandering around outside the Hall of Hell. Learn something.”
There are mountains of sword techniques in the arsenal, but Xu Fengnian has not set foot on the Tingchao Pavilion, which is regarded as a holy place for martial arts by martial artists in the martial arts world since the first day of practicing swords. Lao Kui was very pleased with this. In the path of swordsmanship, it is not as important as the way of heaven practiced by the uncle of Wudang Mountain. The most important thing is that water wears away the stone. As for how to complement each other and practice both internally and externally, Lao Kui is not worried about this. Some of the slaughtering Xu Xiao is a crooked way. The problem is that His Highness, who is rich and well-fed, can last that day.
After the beginning of winter, until the cold, even if the lake surface freezes, Xu Fengnian will be taken to the bottom of the lake to practice swords, and the rest time will be longer and longer. The swordsmanship still did not enter the house, but he developed water first.
Recently, several bands of Yougang have emerged outside the city, and they are clamoring for chaos under the eyes of the great pillar country. This is simply a tumbling ground on Tai Sui’s head, but it is rumored in the city that several bandits seeking death are not stomped on the meat paste by the Beiliang Iron Cavalry, but are slaughtered by a swordsman with a hideous mask. After slapping the crowds in the city, they always say something, but unfortunately, the prince, who has been silent for half a year, has not been able to see it, otherwise they will have to give it a great reward. As for the powerful and powerful people in the city, they were all confused. Not to mention who the sneaky swordsman was, the bandits from where did they come from? Under the rule of the Dazhu Kingdom, they could not say that they would not pick up the leftovers and dance to the peace, but they would not believe that the refugees who were fleeing into Beiliang were killed, but they would not believe that they were killed.
On the 28th day of the 12th lunar month, Xu Fengnian followed the Dazhu Kingdom to Jiuhua Mountain, the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s temple. This time, he will ring the bell after performing the crown ceremony.
I took off my armor and climbed the mountain, stayed in the Thousand Buddha Pavilion on the top of the mountain at night, and took the time to look through the letters sent by the real person in Longhu Mountain under the lamp, which was very thick. Xu Fengnian smiled knowingly. When he saw the letter saying that Huang Man’er saw the hawthorn everywhere in the mountains, he took it back to the master’s place of practice in handfuls. As a result, the entire courtyard was filled with the most respected real person on the mountain. Fortunately, the respected real person on the mountain did not dare to scold him. He only kindly explained that the hawthorn was picked and stored soon after it was stored. It would be best to wait for the year when he went down the mountain to pick it, but Huang Man’s house was almost demolished.
Xu Xiao did not fall asleep, walked into the room, glanced at the embroidered winter knife placed on the table under the lamp, holding another seal in his handThe letter from home was sent back by Xu Weixiong. Dazhuguo said with a bitter face, “Your second sister wrote a letter to scold me.”
Xu Fengnian asked with a smile, “It’s because I learned martial arts and practice swords.”
Xu Xiao sat down and sighed, “If you continue practicing, maybe she would run back from Shangyin Academy to scold me in person.”
Xu Fengnian did not go to read the letter, but just gloated, “What did she say?”
Xu Xiao narrowed his eyes and said, “She asked me to ask you, “So what is the best knife?”
Xu Fengnian thought for a while and said, “You just replied that you can strengthen your body, and you can’t be empty by beauty.”
Xu Xiao was embarrassed: “Is this reason a little bit of a joke?”
Xu Fengnian said confidently: “You have to use this method to deal with your second sister. Otherwise, you can talk to her with great reason and say it too much.”
Xu Xiao gave a thumbs up and flattered: “This knife is not learned in vain!”
Early in the morning of the 29th. The mountains are filled with mist. Xu Fengnian put his hands on the hilt of the embroidered winter knife and stopped to look away.
After the beginning of winter, those bandits were all “wooden stakes” arranged by their father Xu Xiao. Xu Xiao had no hint, but Xu Fengnian could naturally guess that most of them were deadly criminals who committed the ban in the Northern Liang army. Xu Xiao was extremely strict in his military administration and had clear rewards and punishments. Even when his adopted son Chen Zhibao broke the law, he was whipped into a bloody man by the public. If it weren’t for this, it wouldn’t be circulating in the clear streams of the capital. Northern Liang only recognizes the King of Liang, Hu Fu, but does not recognize the Emperor’s Jade Seal.
These military prisoners who temporarily acted as robbers and bandits have never inherited orthodox martial arts, but their abilities are all achieved by fighting on the battlefield by desperately rolling. They are very powerful and cruel. They have the unique fierceness of the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry. They are most suitable for Xu Fengnian to exercise the straightforward killing skills. Lao Kui watched Xu Fengnian kill three groups with his own eyes, and then he stopped paying attention. He just gave the address and asked Xu Fengnian to go there alone.
